Stupid Gun news of the day (Part 2)

BORING!!!

To be fair, he did get everyone’s attention.

Looks like he picked the wrong week to stop shooting glue…

Was this a shotgun wedding?

Not if one only had a derringer.

It’s not the size; it’s the motion of the hammer…

But it was in Texas, which would have been everybody’s next guess.

It’s a bit confusing, but I believe the good-guy-with-a-gun wedding officiant is from TX, but the wedding was in Nebraska.

You’re right, my bad. I saw Texas, and I saw Denton, and assumed the obvious.

It was Texas man though. Kissing cousin of Florida man.

That’s one truly awful disease vector…

Eh, can’t help but think, if it had been a gender reveal it would have involved High Explosives and burned down half the town.

The home of happiness!

You mean like this:

A pilot has died after the plane he was flying as part of a gender reveal party in Mexico crashed on Sunday. Video posted online shows the plane releasing pink smoke as it flies over a couple waiting in front of a sign that reads “Oh baby,” surrounded by pink and blue balloons.Sep 5, 2023

But there was no gun. As far as I know.

More like this. (“Border Agent Starts 47,000-Acre Wildfire By Shooting Exploding Target at Gender Reveal Party”)

Comparatively, the wedding was sedate.

But really, to get the crowd to pay attention, whatever happened to tapping a glass with your butter knife, or with waving your mic in front of the speaker to create a loud feedback…

Butter knives are for sissies.

Oh my. I’d never heard of this one.

Man we are a stupid species.

There is no video that I can find to post, but that does remind me of a certain scene in the movie “Always” (1989). Something something… John Goodman in a lawn chair… and the drop of a load of pink dyed water that was supposed to measure how close “water-bomber” pilots could get to hot spots in forest fires.

Again, no gun. Which might explain why John Goodman didn’t kill him…

Maybe the pilot gunned the engine at the wrong time.

I got that. :smile:
